[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT announced on the 31st that it has signed a 'Smart Remote Monitoring Business Cooperation Agreement' with IEL, a manufacturer of intelligent industrial remote terminal devices.

Through this contract, the two companies plan to strengthen cooperation to revitalize the eMTC communication-based smart remote monitoring business and provide differentiated services to customers. To this end, KT and IEL will ▲first promote the solar power smart remote monitoring business. IEL's IoT terminals will be installed on inverters of solar power plants, and using KT's eMTC network, the power output and inverter malfunction status of the solar power can be remotely monitored.

KT began installing solar power smart remote terminals equipped with eMTC communication modules in the Gimje and Naju areas from May 28 and plans to continuously expand nationwide. IEL's Solaring, used in the solar power monitoring business, is a product supported by KT's SME win-win program 'KT Partners,' receiving KT's quality consultation and market development support. Through the KT Partners program, it is expected to enhance customer trust and cooperate in expanding business areas.

The two companies will continue to collaborate on applying the eMTC network to more diverse fields such as ▲smart river management, which enables preemptive prevention of flood damage through more accurate monitoring ▲agricultural drainage pumping stations ▲traffic facility management.

Lee Hyun-seok, Executive Vice President and Head of KT Device Business Division, said, “Through this agreement, we have established a cooperative system to apply eMTC communication technology to the smart remote monitoring business, expand service areas, and explore diversified businesses.
